WATCH: Chiefs RB Damien Williams turns on jets on 62-yard touchdown

Share this article

Chiefs running back Damien Williams is out here to remind everyone who the starter is in Kansas City.

On just the third offensive play of the game, Williams got loose for a huge touchdown reception. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes hit Williams on a wheel route and then Williams took care of the rest, juking a defender out of his shoes and galloping 62 yards for the score. He really showcased his speed and catching ability here.

This was the first big action we’ve seen from Williams during this preseason. He had a few carries last week but hadn’t seen too much action yet. Take a look at the play down below:

Williams dealt with a hamstring injury that kept him out of the majority of training camp. He had been named the starter by Eric Bieniemy, but without seeing much action early on, there were questions about whether he’d retain the role. There are likely not a lot of questions about that anymore, because he is looking healthy and very capable in this play.

Expect to see a lot more from Williams in the passing game this season. He was a valuable asset to the passing game when he took over in 2019.

I have identified over 200 prospects for the 2020 draft that I believe could be potential fits for the Kansas City Chiefs. I’ll be releasing mini scouting reports on these prospects in random groups of four up until the draft.

Check out the latest group of prospects down below:

Virginia CB Bryce Hall
A lot of folks believe that if Bryce Hall had declared early in 2019, he would have been one of the top cornerbacks drafted. He'll get the opportunity to build on his stellar 2018...

The Kansas City Chiefs have changed their mind about a decision they made earlier this week.

As first reported by Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Chiefs have made the decision to cut do-it-all athlete Tremon Smith and add WR Byron Pringle from the practice squad. Earlier in the week, the Chiefs waived Pringle to make room for De'Anthony Thomas, who had returned from suspension.

With the return of Thomas, the Chiefs' front office and Dave Toub had a decision to make on special teams. Each of Thomas, Smith and Pringle play the same position on special...
